Hoy-Ka Thai Restaurant@Hollywood ★

Thai Restaurant with 2,000+ Yelp Reviews. Raw Naked Shrimp Salad caught my eye. It's like Amaebi (Japanese Raw Shrimp) Salad. It is definitely interesting with a nice spicy and sour lime flavor to it. Jade Noodle is loaded with good meat in sweet & sour flavor soup. Spinach Noodles are green. Felt healthy. Chrysanthemum is directly from the Chinese grocery store. They also have Sticky Mango Rice, but I was already full. Need to try next time. Parking in rear.

kodō@Arts District ★★★

Fantastic New Izakaya Restaurant. Hidden gem in the Arts District. Only opened for 4 weeks. Love all the food. Could get pricey. Premium Trio Handroll is expensive ($60), but it's worth a try. Shark's Heart was very special. It tasted like Chicken Sashimi, which was great with its texture. Monkfish Karaage was moist and soft with the perfect flavor. The Shiso Gelato tasted like Green Tea Ice Cream. Great cocktails. Probably can't go wrong with any cocktails there. Great service. Dinner only. Arrived 30 minutes before our 6:00pm reservation but still got seated. Have outdoor, indoor bar, and indoor booth seating. Arrive early. Street parking could be a bit challenging in the busy area. Reservations made via Resy.
